Sorry, going out on a limb here but could we cut the guy some slack, please? The pretty much universal derision is shocking. What, his silhouettes seem redolent of others? Seriously? The brand's innovative approach to marketing, social media, runway show art direction amongst other things has been copied everywhere from here to Timbuktu so, please, let's chill a bit.
He is an independent voice that has built a solid business in a climate where it seems pretty much impossible to do so. He also created an it bag when a majority of luxury brands are struggling to come up with one. So chill. Tyla next to Anna Wintour? Tems at his show instead of Aya Nakamura? Yes, it wasn't perfect but what is? He is trying to raise his bar and has achieved more success than a lot of us ever have and ever will. So chill.
